Top Ice Hockey Betting Tips
Ice hockey betting is among the easiest sports to start betting on since the variety of betting markets lends itself to all levels of experience and knowledge. That said, it never hurts to have a few good ice hockey betting tips to help you get the most out of every game or tournament you find worth betting on.- Research is king: Research as many ice hockey teams as you can in as many leagues as possible if you're interested in more than just NHL betting. This includes following various teams' track records (win, lose, draw), individual player performance, injuries, suspensions, etc. The more you know, the better, and the better you will be at placing decisive bets at the perfect time. Research will also help you take advantage of events that can drastically affect ice hockey markets' odds.
- Learn how to use and take advantage of ice hockey betting resources, including ice hockey odds advice, predictions, and tips, and any ice hockey betting systems that can help you gain that extra edge.
- Be your own bankroll manager: Carefully and strategically managing your bankroll is a key component to successful ice hockey betting and will ensure longevity for the entire season. Set realistic limits and stick to them, minimising big losses that could set you back or even knock you out.
- When you lose, don't chase it: This is a golden rule that has been followed by successful gamblers in both online and brick-and-mortar casinos for decades. It's a knee-jerk reaction to want to recover a lost wager, but it's a trap as, more often than not, those chasing losses end up throwing good money after bad.
- Take it to the next level with live in-play ice hockey betting: While pre-match ice hockey betting is a good place to start, gaining a good understanding of in-play and live odds betting on ice hockey is highly recommended. Here's where ice hockey odds change in the blink of an eye as game events unfold. Keeping track and knowing when to take advantage are all part of the rewarding excitement that comes with betting on ice hockey live and in the moment.

Another quick and easy bet. Simply bet on whether the number of points combined is over or under the line set by the bookie.Puck Line
Known in other sports like football as a points spread bet. Here, you're betting on the spread of points between the winner and the loser. For instance, you could bet on the favourite to win (-1.5) by 2 goals or the underdog to lose (+1.5) by 1 goal.Futures
